Man disguises as car seat to enter Spain

An ingenious illegal immigrant who disguised as a car seat in order
to gain entrance into Spain has been caught by Guardia Civil officers.

The 20-year-old man from Guinea was hidden inside a Renault 7's
passenger seat, with the co-driver sat on top of him while attempting to
sneak into the Spanish enclave of Melilla from Morocco over the
Beni-Enzar crossing on Friday.

The insides of the seat had been discarded, leaving only the frame
which he slid into. The security officers had to help the man out of his
hiding place.

Although arrested, the security respected the Guinean's ingenuity
describing his attempt to pass undetected as 'unique and innovative'.

The immigrant's accomplices, two Moroccan men, aged 21 and 23, who
allegedly tried to smuggle him across the border were arrested and will
appear before a court accused of people smuggling later this week.

The man was also detained and appeared before a judge. He has now been expelled from the enclave.
